There's probably no better example than what's going on in a courtroom right now between ESPN, reporter Adam Schefter and NY Giant's defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul.
Schefter tweeted a photo of Pierre-Paul's medical chart to more than 4-million followers. The problem, according to a Judge, is the tweet changed the public's knowledge of Pierre-Paul's injuries.
ESPN made a motion to dismiss the case and the Judge said, "No". Maybe ESPN and Schefter should ask each follower to donate $1 to try and cover the mistake? In the meantime, think twice before hitting 'send'.
